Haven't blogged in a while, we have been SO busy with all the moving and unpacking and getting "settled" in. So here is a mini update on life.
We have been back in Columbia now almost 2 weeks (on Monday) and it has been quite an adjustment. I knew that it would be but it has been interesting getting adjusted being back here again. Some days its been fun, like when I've been able to catch up with an old friend and let our kids play together, times I've been able to just be able to go hang out with my sisters, run by my moms to say hello, or just stop in to check on my dad (who just had knee surgery last week) and other days I wonder why we ever moved back and feel a little down. I guess that its "normal" to feel that way since its been so long that we've been away and so much has changed in our lives since we left. I just have to have faith that God has a bigger plan for us and that we are supposed to be here for right now. Eventually we would like to be back in Charlotte but that will happen all in due time if its in Gods will for us. Only time will tell I guess....
On a REALLY good note: John has scored an interview for the USPS next week in Charlotte. I really hope and pray that he gets this job as it would be SO awesome for our family! :) Only time will tell what is next for us however and know that everything WILL workout the way its supposed to.
On another note, in one week from today our sweet baby girl will be turning two. I'm not sure how the time has gone by that quickly from us. Time really does fly! Its so bittersweet feeling because as much as I ADORE watching her grow up and see all the NEW and EXCITING things she does it is also a little sad to know that my little baby isn't so little anymore. She amazes me each and everyday and I still can't believe that God loved me THIS much to give me such an incredible blessing. I sometimes stare at her in awe that she is all mine(well Johns too.. ;) She truly brings more happiness to my life than I've ever known before and takes away the all sadness I've ever felt. Its truly remarkable. I pray for her everyday that she continues to grow and flourish. To grow into a loving, kind, generous, merciful, forgiving person. Who loves God and seeks to know him.
Oh life, you keep me on my toes. I don't ever know whats next. Some days its rough, some days its scary, some days its challenging, some days its incredible, some days it makes you ponder life but I wouldn't have it ANY other way!
